The English Setter is a friendly, calm dog with a powerful sense of smell. They have an athletic build with a skill for assisting in a hunt. While they are excellent with children, they may be difficult to train without well structured leadership and enough space to run around. They do not make good apartment dogs. They can also be very vocal and have a loud bark.
English Setters come in white with overlay markings in the following colors: orange, blue, liver, lemon, tricolor (blue, tan, and white).
